The article that is getting dugg here is about improving your sex life, but the comments, starting with this thread, are far more entertaining than typical Digg drivel.
Takeru Kobayashi Takes On A Giant Bear
Apparently I missed this video back in 2003 when it aired on Fox, but the only time that world-famous competitive eater Takeru “The Tsunami” Kobayashi has ever lost in an eating competition was when he went up against a giant bear — and you can see the video below…
Amazing Folding Chair
I’ll just let this video speak for itself on this one…
Urban Ninja
Like that crazy chick up in Baker, I had to laugh when I saw this…
More Vista Links
A few interesting Windows Vista links that I’ve come across recently in addition to those previously posted (on a Vista-related note, an old friend of mine is sending me a legitimate copy of Vista Business edition, so I might dual-boot or VM it and play with it a bit before going full bore on the thing — stay tuned).
- If you’re upgrading to Vista, which version should you buy (and you can save yourself a few bucks by buying the upgrades instead of the full versions)?
- Microsoft is hoping that Windows XP Service Pack 3 will be so buggy that it will force people to upgrade to Vista (it’s sarcasm, folks — have a laugh).
- Microsoft-provided software to help you move data files from your old PC to your new Vista-powered PC.
- If you have some favorite gadgets or widgets (from Google or Yahoo) that you’d love to put into your Vista side bar, this software should make it far easier.
- Window’s Vista “Wow” commercial.
- Microsoft is still working out the bugs in its Family Pack options for Vista.
- Vista upgrade power tips power user.
- Should you upgrade or wait?
- Here’s a long list of software compatibility with solutions to fixing some issues.
- If you use iTunes, make sure you have this tool handy to repair your iTunes Store purchases.
- Anandtech has a great in-depth performance guide
- Pile of handy little Windows Vista tips.
Cripes…I had more than I thought here. Enjoy!
Miss The Super Bowl Commercials?
I didn’t watch more than a few minutes of the game or the commercials, but YouTube comes to the rescue by posting all the commercials and you can even rank them if you want. Anybody have any favorites before I go watching all of them during my lunch break later today?
No, I’m Not Watching The Game
If you’re stuck at work today like I am (trying to make sense out of our 14 account wireless phone bill, as I’m now in charge of that) instead of watching the game, here are some games to keep you entertained:
- Cubefield: Simple little game, powed by two keys, but gets pretty hard pretty fast.
- Team-based Open Source First Person Shooter (requires you to download and install it, but it looks pretty promising).
- I don’t even know what this game is called, but it’s stupidly hard.
That’s all I’ve got right now, but if I come up with some other little fun game today (assuming I haven’t posted it already).
When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle: Creepy Horror Flicks
Remember Scary Mary? Would you have watched When Harry Met Sally if the trailer were like this?
Disabling Snap’s Obnoxious Link Preview Bubbles
(First off, no, I’m not watching the Super Bowl — I’m at work. Anyway…)
I don’t know about you, but I get annoyed as heck at the sites out there that have those stupid little pop-up Snap.com Link Preview functionality on every single link on the site. It makes it so you can’t run your mouse around the site without getting bombared by the stupid things. Here’s a quick and easy way to turn the stupid things off without resorting to Firefox extensions and other creative hacks. Link via Kottke.
